The Position
We advance science so that we all have more time with the people we love.
The Department of Research Oncology at Genentech is seeking a Scientist 3 to join the Synthetic Immunity division, supporting immune engager and CAR-T cell therapy programs. This role will report to the Lab Head and contribute to advancing next-generation Synthetic Immunity approaches.
The Scientist 3 will play a key role in designing and executing experiments to explore T cell biology and tumor immunology, helping to identify and validate new therapeutic strategies. This is an excellent opportunity for a motivated scientist to work in a highly collaborative and innovative research environment.
The Opportunity:
As an integral member of our dynamic team, you will be:
Providing Scientific Execution:
- Design and perform in vitro and in vivo experiments to investigate T cell function and anti-tumor activity.
- Generate, analyze, and interpret data to support target validation and therapeutic hypothesis testing.
- Apply a range of cellular, molecular, and immunological techniques to advance research programs.
Providing Project Contribution:
- Contribute to the progression of Synthetic Immunity programs by delivering high-quality, reproducible data.
- Participate in experimental planning and provide scientific input to project strategy discussions.
- Maintain accurate documentation of experimental work and ensure data integrity.
Collaborating and Communicating:
- Work closely with the Lab Head and cross-functional teams across Research, Translational Medicine, and Drug Development.
- Present data at internal meetings and contribute to external publications and scientific conferences.
- Collaborate effectively with multidisciplinary teams to achieve project milestones.
Who You Are
- Educational Background: B.S, M.S. or Ph.D. in Immunology, Cell Biology, or a related field.
- Experience: Typically 0–3+ years (Ph D degree) 5+ years (B.S./M.S degree) of relevant postdoctoral training and/or industry experience.
- Strong foundation in T cell immunology, cellular immunology, and/or cancer immunology.
- Demonstrated ability to design and execute experiments independently and analyze complex datasets.
- Track record of independent research to conceive ideas, develop studies and derive conclusions as demonstrated by high profile publications.
- Excellent organizational, communication, and collaboration skills.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience working with human and/or mouse T cells.
- Experience with advanced genome editing technologies (CRISPR, RNAi etc.) and applications for T cell engineering (e.g., CAR-T or related technologies).
- Experience with in vivo models such as syngeneic or humanized mouse models.
- Experience with immune profiling techniques (e.g., flow cytometry, molecular profiling)
Relocation benefits are available for this posting.
